Are you empowered to live the life you’ve always wanted to live? Here’s your invitation to meet the friends you wish you’d grown up with at the

ENCINO COMMUNITY CHURCH with over fifty years of community enrichment, an all-inclusive circle of Love that seeks to make a difference just as we are.

“The greatest gift is love. It is also

mankind’s most difficult gift to give. One must love God first and find inner peace and divine placement before one can love another. Love is not of need. It is not of control. It is not of ownership. Love supports without changing direction. Love is born of an inner grace that sees the good in another and allows that good to express when and how it must. Love is the gift of freedom without qualification. Love does not require a return on its investment. Love simply loves because to do so pleasures the soul. No one loses when Love is present.”

Rev. Margie Ann Taylor-Black., D.D.

Marina Rose Bringing DNA Healing to the Masses

Here from the land down under to the streets of Santa Monica, from Actor to Healer. She moved from hair dresser to business entrepreneur. She is the Co-Creator with Vianna Stibal of the International Theta Healing Associating with over 300,000 healers world wide. WP: Let’s start at the beginning. MR: I am making sure that everything was good for you and me and dad and you’re still concerned about dad while I was in your womb. And then I had to calm you down from being inside the womb. And she was like, “DA DA, “Oh my God!” WP: So I want to go back to your statement that you shared that you were aware when you were in your mother’s womb and you had this knowing of Quantum physics, Quantum mechanics. MR: In my mother’s womb, yeah, I remember the law of cause and effect. I remember the law of Quantum physics and the law of Quantum mechanics because if I did one thing I would remember they way she would react. And if she did something else, I would see the way she would react, then I also remember being at the hospital in her womb. Because when I was in my mother’s womb she was just in a fabulous place the whole time. She was so in love with my dad. It was just all love. But when I went to the hospital while I was in my mother’s womb, I could feel her tension her stress her anxiety and just making sure that I was o.k. That she was O.K., that dad was o.k. And then I felt the apprehension, Oh My God how am I going to be O.K. I don’t speak English, and this is an Australian Hospital and there was one nurse that spoke Italian to her and then she would just totally mellow. I was just in the womb going take a chill pill mama, Because if you take a chill pill your mom will take a chill pill. WP: So mom was Italian MR: Both Mom and Dad were Italian and I am first generation born Australian, but I am Italian.

Interviewed by Tony Camacho WP: So you grew up entirely in Australia? MR: Yes, in Australia WP: Ok, so it was just a typical generic childhood. I mean you had your primary caregivers, Mom and Dad; they were in your life. I assume you had grandparents. MR: No, No, our family unit is, my mother, my father, my brother and I. That is it. So that was a blessing that was an incredible fortunate blessing because there was never any concern about cousins, aunts, uncles. My mother and father they definitely live outside the box. Even though they were Italian they did everything to the beat of their own drum. They just looked at their vision of what they want to create and they just totally disregard everyone else. That is how I was raised, so that is how I do things.

WP: So it is more pervasive throughout.

WP: Yes, this was a huge gift. MR: Oh God Yes! Well two huge gifts. They both live their life to the beat of their own drum with tunnel vision, being raised in Australia which is one of the toughest countries in the world because it is really harsh land it is really powerful land. There are a lot of restrictions there.

WP: Wow! They supported your growth in that area.

WP: Hmm, What type of restrictions? MR: A lot of restrictions, I don’t know if we should really go into that. WP: Well, just a little bit. MR: O.K. it is politically corrupt. Even though America is politically corrupt and every other country is politically corrupt. The corruption is huge because there is only there is only a very small population.

MR: Yes they definitely got “The Tall Poppy Syndrome which is like if you make it they just try to rip you down. WP: An expression I don’t know. So in your early years then, were you aware of this knowing in your mother’s womb and then you came out. MR: Yes they encouraged psychic and intuitive abilities WP: Oh, that is nice. O.K. MR: They always said to me never listen to what a person says just listen to your gut. Your gut will always tell you the truth.

MR: That is how I was raised. And they are fearless. Yes, so I have that in my genes and in my DNA which is great. WP: It’s fantastic. MR: I tell this in my manifestation and abundance class or is it the game of life. I don’t know, one of the two. My dad moved to Australia when they had the camps. And there were a lot of Italians that were committing suicide because they really missed their, they missed their life. And so he left and so he went to this one particular area and he bought himself, he saved enough money to buy a house. He said you know what I have to find myself a wife, because otherwise I will die. So he went back to Italy, my mother met him. She went “Hmm not bad, just

got to change the way he looks.” She was a fashion designer. She could have just changed the way he dresses. They met and within three months later engaged and married. How is that for manifesting? WP: She sent him back, laughs. MR: And I said to my mom, “Did you know that he was going to be alright?” She said, “I knew he was going to be alright.” I said, “Did Dad know he was going to be alright?” She said she knew. That is how I was raised. WP: So your childhood was it a typical childhood, off to school? MR: A Typical it was bit odd because I had so much love, why because I hear now of so many people’s tragic upbringings. Yes and then I went off to school. As I said mom said never listen to what a person says. WP: Had you come in contact with the whole aboriginal community? MR: Love the aboriginal community WP: Yeah, amazing people, with such a powerful connection for the land. MR: They are very racist in Australia and I am so into the aboriginal community. And in Theta Healing we’ve got the seven planes of existence and I wrote a whole article that correlates with the seven planes of existence to the aborigines. WP: Very nice. I would love to read it sometime. MR: It is amazing! I studied aboriginal shamanism. My heart goes out to them, very wonderful, powerful people. They’re incredible healers. WP: Did you learn to play the Didgeridoo? MR: Didgeridoo, no I am a woman. WP: They can’t play? MR: I really honor that. I have real issues with women that play that didgeridoo. WP: Yes, I like that you honor it. MR: Yeah I have issues man. WP: It is funny though I was over there a couple of years back. MR: Where? WP: Oh I was all over the country as well as Alice Springs and we had come upon, my girlfriend and I, upon a shaman who did healing with the didgeridoo.

MR:Oh my God, that is amazing. WP: Oh, it was incredible. What was nice is he handmade them. He offered to show me how to play. It was very hard, I couldn’t do it. And then he looked at my girlfriend and he grabbed another one and he handed one to her and said here you give it a try. And she did it very nicely. MR: Wooow, It is the circular breath. WP: So there you are in Australia growing up, finishing school and then from there off to here? MR: No I did a few more things. So when I was in high school. Actually I have always been obsessed with hair dressing. Can you tell? (both laugh) So I got into hairdressing school and then I worked for the top hairdresser in Australia at the time. And then I thought now what am I going to do? I got bored. I think I am going to become an actress. I really researched all of the actors, I needed a mentor. WP: That was pretty bold and brave of you MR: That is my line. That is my lineage. And information passed on to me at a dinner party, they said if you are really serious about acting leave Australia and go to the United States. WP: Oh, but where else would you go. MR: And then they hooked me up with another actor who had come back from Australia. I met with him and he then he said, “Yeah go back to study at the Lees Strasburg Institute and he hooked me with his brother who is a very well known Australian screenwriter and just hooked me and said, “Out of here.” WP: And off you went. MR: And off I went. I came here. And I studied acting at the Lee Strasburg Theta Healing I mean acting. WP: Laughs, that would be too advanced MR: The Lee Strasburg Theater Institute and I planed to study a year in L.A a year in England and a year in France. But then once I went to the institute I was like” No, no this is it. I just go with my gut always.” WP: Where was your spiritual life at that point? MR: In what way? WP: Well, that is a good question. I mean in the sense that your devotion from the sound of it is about being focused on creating a career, in acting so a lot of time and energy is going in that direction MR: Yes and I did work in Australia as an actress by the way.

WP: So then in terms of your spiritual self were there things going on there? Would you go out and meditate, do this or you do that to grow yourself in this area?. What was happening? MR: You really want to know? WP: Yes, of course. MR: OOOOhhhhhh I don’t know if I am ready to come out that far. WP: laughs. You’re ready to come out all the way. That is why we are here that is why we are having this conversation. MR: O.K, O.K. so Whoohhoo. So let us go back to when I was in Australia, Melbourne. I was a heroine addict. And so then when I was came to L.A. I kept on doing heroine. So I am at the Lee Strasburg institute totally into my intuition and all of that. But I was one of those heroine addicts that would work, would exercise, would work would look fabulous I was like Keith Richards, but a female version of it. I was taking victims while doing all this. WP: You recognized the importance of balancing yourself. MR: To balance it all. But I also think I mean I od over 300 times WP: Oh, Wow. MR: So that is what I think what opened up my psychic stuff, even more. So when I came to L.A that was almost the first thing that I had to do was to find a dealer, literally within 24 hours. WP: You knew how to manifest, Laughs. MR: So my contact said, “I am not going to be the one that calls your mother and father and tells them that you are dead.” And I went she just shook me up and I started to get clean. WP: How old were you then? MR: Oh, no we are not going into age. That stays a secret. WP: laughs o.k. MR: Let me think. I have to get a calculator out. No, I am 24 years clean. WP: Very good, long, long time MR: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but always on that spiritual high. You know they are people that do peyote, people that do mushrooms and I just happen to do something else. And I got I got very spiritually enlightened through that. WP: One could argue that you would have Continued on Page 9

gotten spiritual enlightened without all of that? Perhaps even more spiritually enlightening but we don’t know. MR: And Oh Yeah I know and then I got hepatitis C and then totally healed that through um... And that came up much later on. I said, “I will clear this up all by myself thank you very much. I said, “I don’t want to be sick but to have those symptoms which are worse than having hepatitis C for two and half years. You are nuts. And so I said, “No, I will heal myself “and literally I felt my cells and my DNA. WP: Taking a shift? MR: Right then and just going “shshhsh” I walked out and he chased me down the street, saying “You are going to die without this.” I was like are you kidding me.” There you have that. WP: Wow! No that was great. Remarkable! So here you are. You are in L.A. You are acting? MR: And then I gave it up because when I got into the Healing Arts which I formally got into. I studied by myself from the age. I just had the most amazing books and I would study because I was always interested in the Healing Arts, in Metaphysics and in this that and the other. WP: Were you being guided or mentored

where someone says, “Oh this is a nice book to read or why don’t you read this one, it is great?” MR: No, all by myself. WP: It just came to you. MR: I followed my gut. So in I went back to Australia to do this show and there was my first contact with this healer. And I said, “Why?” and she said, “Cause you just need it.” And I said, “O.K” just go and I went and she changed my life. WP: What was the method? MR: It was Applied Kinesiology. And everything else mixed in with it. So then let’s just fast forward, I came back to L.A. to continue my acting because there were not that many jobs there, especially because of the way I look because I fall right through the cracks. There version of Italian is completely different from the way I looked. And so then I kept on studying the Healing Arts. At that time there was this Whole Person Calendar and I would I would search it out to see what was being taught. WP: Yeah , Whole Person Calendar, that was us back then. MR: Yah a Whole Person Calendar. But I am telling you that was apart of my path. Because I would go through it everyday “ I would call people, “Oh My God” and so I started looking into classes that I could take.

I started doing massage first. While I was acting in Australia I was also going to university. So I kept on doing all of that. I started with reflexology class and then massage classes and got certified in about probably 10 or so massages and then I found Polarity Therapy because that had to do with the mind and I got so certified in that. I got certified to teach in that. I found craniosacrial , Got certified in that. WP: That is an interesting process, the door kept opening for you thanks in some regard to the Whole Person, and you could have become a poster person for the magazine. MR: Yeah and then I found Theta healing because there is a component of Polarity therapy and Craniosacrial Therapy that I studied with my teacher who puts a little bit of NLP in there. So it is like I was so like I need this because the brain is what always what gets me. And then I found Theta Healing and then that it was it. I was done. WP: Who did you study Theta Healing with and was it here in L.A? MR: : Here in L.A. with Carol Goulon. I did the basic with her, I made my flyer and at the time, had my office on Montana Ave and that was it. I never stopped getting clients. I changed my whole practice to Theta Healing.

I would get people that would come to me with stage 4 cancer. It was like, “O.K. do I go out on an audition or do I deal with this person with stage four cancer? I decided I better deal with the person with stage 4 cancer and that is when I gave up acting. So literally I gave up one art form for the other. WP: Was there a transition in the sense of marriage. Were you married yet or did that happen down the road a little further? MR: When I came to L.A. um, kind of dated only the Rock Stars. Because I was emotionally unavailable because I always wanted to was focus on my career. So I always had to get someone emotionally unavailable as well. WP: Absolutely. MR: So I lived with this guy. It was a highly enjoyable and highly dysfunctional relationship. I mean highly enjoyable and highly dysfunctional to the max, to the max degree that you could ever imagine. But it was amazing. And ah so we were together for 4 1/2 years and then we got married. WP: What year was that? MR: I aint telling you (both laugh) cause you started tracking my life and tried to figure out how old I am. But just know that we got married and he changed immediately. So I was married to him for six months.

WP: Right MR: And then we had to quite that. But then the relationship kept going for another two years. WP: Then you went your own way? MR: I have been heavily “therapized “for over eight years during the whole dysfunctional period. I said to my therapist. “How do I get a man to love me.? She said, “You got to stop being the man.” I said “Oh my God, how do I do that?” I did not know how to deal with (inhales) stop being a man. Anyways, I implemented everything she said and I got married. And I am still married. WP: Congratulations! MR: Thank you! Isn’t that wild. WP: IT is a funny story because I like the little short answer your therapist gave you. Stop being the man. MR: Stop being the man WP: Stop being the man. And I don’t say this judgmentally. Having been in that body having that masculine energy of directing ‘I will do this, I will do that. You are next, you are next.” However it all goes. How did that transition happen

for you. How did you allow yourself? MR: (inhales) I am going to let go of some of that. So the short t story is I go back to Sydney I meet this guy who was singing on my voicemail. I was like who the hell was that. So we start talking and so the relationship evolves. We are in different states and he comes down once a month. Then he lived with me for a split second and then he got his own place. This was all of the stuff my therapist told me to do(except for the living with me). So I was nervous, I was a wreck. And he allows me to be that masculine female. He is highly effeminate but very manly, so when I say he is highly effeminate I mean he is very spiritual very old soul and very evolved and so evolved that that he can let his wife to be as butch as she needs to be in her female form. WP: That is a nice way of putting it MR: Yes he is so evolved. WP: O.K. so let’s bring you back to date. We are embarking on a healing career and letting the acting go. And you are over her on Montana and a good place to be and people are coming to the door. And it is just starting to grow. MR: Booming WP: Right MR: My healing practice has always boomed.

L oe I n W Inviting

By Hollister Rand

hen we’ve lost

someone we love, whether through break-up, divorce or death, the door to our hearts can slam shut. Years ago someone I loved dearly, died suddenly in Paris (the City of Love). The irony

that

didn’t

escape me. At that point of

deepest

loneliness

despair,

became

companion. After years of being a conduit of love for the spirits, I turned my attention to being willing to receive love myself (from people on the earthly plane). I discovered love again, but only after consciously inviting it into my life again. There are ways that you, too, can

invite love in. In doing so, you may find that it is easier to connect with loved ones in spirit as well as create space in your heart for earthly beings just waiting to share their love with you.

Self-Love and Compassion It might seem counter-intuitive to express love to someone in spirit and/or preparing for a new love relationship by practicing self-compassion. In actuality, however, messages from loved ones in spirit often stress their concern for our welfare and well-being as an extension of their love. During a recent session, a husband in spirit thanked his wife for taking care of him during a long illness. What he wanted his wife to know was that even his dying was an expression of his love for her. He had known that the care she provided was taking a physical and mental toll and decided to exit gracefully before his illness destroyed her, too. This might seem like a strange message to give, but upon hearing it, his wife’s face relaxed. She thought that he had chosen to die

because she wasn’t doing enough to help keep him here! During the months following his death, she suffered with tremendous guilt. In this moment of realization, a husband in spirit shifted a wife’s selfblame into an extension of the love that they had shared on earth for 27 years. You don’t have to wait for a message from the spirits to release pain carried because of a passing. No matter what you think may be separating you from the love of someone in spirit, here’s an easy way to invite love in:

Sit in a chair in a quiet place and close your eyes. 4 While stretching your arms out in front of your chest, cup your hands at heart height. 4 Visualize your hands holding the face of a loved one in spirit. 4 Feel your hands getting heavy with all the love you hold for that loved one.

4 As you continue holding the

love in your hands draw them toward your chest and feel your own heart expand to receive their love in return.

At first it may be easier to receive love that we have sent to a person we love. It may be harder to accept loving yourself. However, this exercise can be adapted to allow yourself the freedom to accept yourself and even the parts of yourself that you’ve judged to be unlovable. In order to do this, simply visualize your face as a child instead of a face of a loved one in spirit. As you extend love to the child you were (and still are) and draw that love back into your heart, allow yourself to rest in the release and peace it can bring. Personally, I’ve used this exercise to love my “angry” and “hurt” face which has helped to bring healing to those aspects of myself that I don’t like. As I’ve learned to love myself and practice self-compassion, in turn, I’ve allowed others to love me (since it now doesn’t seem like such an onerous task)!

Love Isn’t Love ‘Til You Give It Away Once love is invited in, we can remain connected to the love of the spirits and love for ourselves by expressing compassionate (and unconditional) love to those on earth. The masters of this kind of generous, no-strings attached kind of life are pets on earth and in

“

With your hands over your heart, sit quietly for a few more minutes allowing yourself to receive the love that you’ve expressed to a loved one as it is being returned to you.

spirit. For instance, at a public event some time ago, a spirit shared with a couple in the audience that their beloved Labrador would be joining the spirit world. Although spirits don’t predict death during readings, it was clear that they wanted the couple to know that when the time came all would be well and they would be guided to another loving Lab.

passing.

Last weekend, this same couple attended another event and, afterwards, gave me a photo of their new, gorgeous lab. The pets we love in spirit (and the people we love) know that they aren’t replaced. But they also know that their love for us can be expressed through others we’ve invited into our lives.

To experience the direct action of the spirits, you may consider a more “hands on” approach, such as helping at a rescue event. Love for other family members in spirit can be expressed by helping others in ways that they would appreciate. For instance, my mother was a teacher, librarian and lover of books. So when a library asked if I would donate my time for a fundraiser, I did. During the event, I shared messages from loved ones in spirit while knowing that my mother was with me. If the one you love enjoyed family gatherings, organize one (for no apparent reason). If your loved one was a sports fanatic, donate a pair of tickets for a home game to a worthy cause. If your loved one enjoyed reading, consider volunteering at a literacy organization. If your loved one was open and friendly, smile at a stranger. My prayer for all of us this Valentine’s Day is to experience love anew by inviting it in and allowing it to grow by sharing it with others.

The True Meaning of

L O V E

By ULRIKE

True Love is unselfish and pure. When you truly love, you don’t ask for anything in return. You simply love. It becomes your nature. Everything you think, say, and do will be embraced by love.

someone. It takes only a minute to greet someone, write a thank you card, wave and smile, help someone across the street, or send flowers. It is so easy to brighten someone’s day.

These words are easier said than practiced, however, these words are true. You cannot love one and not the other; you cannot pick and choose, you must love everyone. Love is Universal; it is good feeling; it is compassion; it is patience;

Why do we see so much hate and not Love?

it is caring; it is forgiving; and it is all embracing. It is the mother, or female element of the Universe and necessary for all creation, giving birth to more good. What the world calls love is mostly only affection or infatuation. Of course you will be affectionate to your loved ones. But Love is a sense of a higher degree, and you will always love relative to your place in unfoldment. Eventually you will outgrow, so to speak, the affection stage. Love is the ultimate, and it is necessary to reach your life’s goal. Univer-

sal Love is giving, generous, unselfish, kind, trusting, and all encompassing. Kindness, Love’s little sister, is the gentleness of the Soul. Do an act of kindness, no matter how small, every day, and you will see the results. It will lift your spirits and good feelings will be your reward. It doesn’t take much to be kind and loving. It should be as natural as waking up, walking, or breathing. Because we are wrapped up in the fastpaced, day-to-day race, we often forget that acting kindly is part of our true self. We forget to stop and ask if we can help

All the hatred and destruction you see comes from a sense of inferiority. This includes envy from a lack of self-sufficiency, selfishness, frustration, thinking that you are powerless, as well as tremendous fear. If people could find their inherit power within themselves, they would stop hate and destruction, including self-destruction. They would know that they can have all the good there is without having to take from another. They would cease to long for others belongings and create riches for themselves, and they would cease to look for faults and weaknesses in those around them. They would stop intolerance of other people, be it about ethnicity, social class, race, gender, or gender prefer-

Your sense, your thought vibrations, and your feelings are connected to all life, whether you know it or not. It’s that simple. And your contribution of good and well-intended pulsation is vital. Do not underestimate your power!

Do you think you love enough? Can you ever love enough? Do you love generously and spontaneously? Or do you expect something in return? Is your love really affection for a specific person or your children, or do you love everyone? Do you know the difference between true love, affection, infatuation, and liking someone? Our answers will differ as we all have a unique sense of Love and what it means to us. What does Love mean to you? It all rests within you. You can be happy or sad, full of enthusiasm or discouragement; you can be strong or weak. You can love or hate, admire or envy. You can be full of joy and gratitude, or you can be miserable and spiteful. It is all up to you. It is your choice. You can choose to think good thoughts, and your mind will develop them in you, for you. Think strongly on courage, strength, and self- confidence. Expect good, peace, love, and joy, and feel them over and over again. Sleep with them, eat with them, walk with them, and be them. Do not allow any thought lesser than good enter your mind. Most

of all, learn to love and understand yourself first so that you will learn to love and understand everyone and all life. Love also demands that you forgive and forget. If you for+give, you will for+get— this is a principle of life. If we give, we will get accordingly, so practice giving and practice getting. Accept graciously; every-

ence and/or religious views. They would stop the insanity of killing one another. They would know that we are all made of the same substance, coming from the same source and, therefore, hate would be seen for what it is: wrong, evil, unnecessary, and pointless.

thing you get is your reward (good or bad). You cannot truly love and hold a grudge at the same time. We have to let go of the past and any hurts we’ve accepted as true. You cannot love with a laden heart.

Practice love by looking at your world with loving eyes. Any time a sense or feeling of criticism, hurt, envy, or any unpleasant thought creeps into your mind, say STOP; I will not feel like this again. Going forward I will feel only love. Reverse your inclination, your tendency to think negatively, and your deviation from the truth.

Love yourself first Self-love is not to be mistaken with Ego. Self-love means to care about yourself enough physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Ego cares about material things that can be “shown off,” such as status and material riches. Ego identifies itself with worldly status and things. You believe what your Ego tells you. Self-love is different in that it puts your spiritual health and your unfoldment first, at all times. Ego puts your personality and who you think you are first. It wants to be better than your neighbor; it wants to have more and more; it is vain. Self-love is kind and gentle, generous, and at peace. Ego feeds off external success and vanity, while your self-love seeks confidence and beauty from within. Love is not selective; in other words, love loves everything and everyone. Love does not discriminate; love is detached, yet love embraces. Love is impersonal. It is Universal. ULRIKE is an Austrian author/writer and metaphysics teacher. ULRIKE has written 4 books and over 60 articles on subjects spanning from right thinking, the power of your mind to inner peace and calm through a positive mental attitude. www.modernthoughttheories.com

Soul Transcendence is becoming aware of yourself as a Soul and as one

with God, not as a theory but as a living reality. Your Soul is who you truly are; it is more than your body, your thoughts, or your feelings. MSIA provides tools and techniques for experiencing your Soul and your own Divinity. We focus on how to incorporate spirituality into everyday life in a workable way. We call it “practical spirituality.” It allows you to tune more and more to your Soul and to increasingly live from that awareness.

Astroflash February 2014 by Joseph Barclay Ross

What will your month be like? The following applies to all signs.

Happy New Year of the Wood Horse

Since the Horse, ruled by Libra, is fun, frolicsome, sophisticated, expect a lot of your plans to move forward buoyed up on stronger social winds than last year of the Reclusive Serpent. And since the digits of 2014 numerologically add up to a creative 7, expect a lot more movement, innovation, and positive evolution than last year, a slow and stalwart Number 6.

THIS MONTH’S THEME:

“Is there life during Mercury Retrograde?” Feb. 1 - Venus goes Direct. The clouds part, revealing love, prosperity,

and all your dreams come true. Ask for that date or promotion at 3:16 PM when Moon in Pisces trines Jupiter; the deal will be done. Feb. 2 - Moon trine Saturn. Great day to combine business & pleasure. Feb. 3 - Moon conjoins Uranus, lots of squares. It’s hide in bed time. Postpone or take things slow. Negotiate patiently. Plan long-term. Feb. 4- Moon opposite Mars. High potential for conflict; go slow. Feb. 5 - Moon in Taurus, good sextiles. Stability returns for today. Feb. 6 - Mercury goes Retrograde. When Mercury goes backwards (“retrograde”) confusion can reign in technology, appointments, communications. Be cautious until Mercury is strong in mid-March: communicate clearly, double check everything, have backup plans. Feb. 7 - Moon enters Gemini, squares Mercury. Stay patient, flexible. Feb. 8 - Moon still in Gemini, sextile Uranus. The changes sort out. Feb. 9 - Moon trines Sun, Mars. A free-flowing, free association day. Feb. 10 - Moon conjoins Jupiter in Cancer. Positive. High appt. day. Feb. 11 - Moon trines Saturn. Resolution of good vibes from yesterday. Feb. 12 - Moon in Leo. Good time for rehearsing, performing, romance. Feb. 13 - Moon trine Uranus. A great day for positive breakthroughs. Feb. 14 - Full Moon/Valentine’s Day. A really wild adventurous day.

Good to share romantic & artistic relationships, but don’t go crazy. Feb. 15 - Moon conjunct Mercury. Zoned out? Chill, do yoga, meditate. Feb. 16 - Moon in Virgo, several trines. Time to write, analyze, pitch. Feb. 17 - Moon in Libra, no aspects, Presiden’t Day. Light socializing. Feb. 18 - Sun enters Pisces, with squares. Moody? This too shall pass. Feb. 19 - Moon conjunct Mars in Libra. Adversarial tone intensifies. You will have to decide between the path of peace and the path of war. Feb. 20 - Moon in Scorpio with trines. Inner strength can make your life easier, as long as you jettison guilt, blame, and resentment. Feb. 21 - Moon occults Saturn. Put your money where your soul is. Feb. 22 - Moon squares Sun, Neptune. The success of your new and exciting actions will be based on your following the 3 previous entries. Feb. 23 - Sun conjunct Neptune. Your spiritual destiny calls upon you. Feb. 24 - Moon enters Capricorn, many aspects. Business gets real. Feb. 25 - Moon conjoins Pluto, Venus. A breakthrough time of truth. Feb. 26 - Moon in Aquarius. More clarity on your ups and downs in life. Feb. 27 - Moon square Saturn in Scorpio. Reality takes shape, balancing your personal needs (Scorpio) versus the needs of team (Aquarius). Feb. 28 - New Moon in Pisces. And on the above note, you realize it was never about Mercury, it was always about your spiritual evolution.

In Theta Healing they say being in your own divine timing from a Buddhist perspective it is like being in perfect rhythm with the universe WP: It’s supporting you in all kinds of ways. MR: Yes supporting me wholeheartedly in every way 100%. It is the only way to explain it. WP: I think it fantastic. I think is wonderful and I applaud you in a big way. MR: I am at the crossroads going, ego going out on audition or take care of this person with stage four cancer. It was like I got take care of this person and it was so specific. It was so like oh no. I can’t, no and I just changed my career. WP: So from the Montana you moved in their from another space because things were growing. MR: And one day the universe said you need to open up a school. And I said, “O.K” and so I drove down Main Street and I saw this building that I really liked. And I applied and got it. WP: Organic MR: The creator is always telling me what to do and I always listen. WP: You are a good listener, a wonderful skill. MR:…really good listener. I was trained as a baby. Listen to your gut, listen to your gut. Don’t even worry what anyone says. WP: You were already listening you were there. I mean in your mother’s womb? MR: Yes I was already listening To all of it. It was insane.

WP: Just as a side we had somebody doing a workshop here, a very interesting gentleman from Australia. MR: What is his name? WP: Danielle is his first name, but his last name eludes me. But the story I want to share is he just had a baby who is about four months. But both he and his wife were communicating with his baby while in the womb. MR: to mom WP: Yes to mom on how to go about it on how to listen the sickness, giving her information on how to make birth a painless process. She just came out with a book with how to have a child in a very seamless, effortless easy and loving way. What a beautiful book. I love the story of connecting that way. MR: Yes, Yes, and now the children an now we are in the era of the rainbow children. And I just finished teaching the Rainbow Children Class. But the rainbow children have got these incredible skills and incredible gifts. And hopefully the parents are fortunate enough to listen. Oh my God such fortune. But obviously Danielle and his wife were very highly evolved to listen to what the baby was telling them. Isn’t that awesome? WP: Oh yeah, just beautiful. It blew me away, laughs I laugh because I thought about when I was 22 or whenever it was that I was having a child and how distant I was from all of that. So for yourself do you see the possibility of children soon or not on the radar? MR: No it is not even no I am my own child. I am not narcissistic or anything. I got real close when my dad passed. My husband and I are O. k. to have children or not have children. It’s a choice. WP: And a big and important choice at that.

MR: Yeah, it is like my clients are my babies, my students are my babies, my babies, my businesses are my babies. It’s a conscious choice. WP: Well I like that it was conscious. MR: Very conscious. And he totally supported and he said, “ If you want to have children, we will have children if you don’t want to have children we won’t have children, if want them in Australia, we do them in Australia if you want to have them here we will have them here whatever you want to do. WP: So let us talk about where do you see things going for yourself? MR: Hmm. Well, I just, we just created the International Theta Healing, and we just launched the International Theta Healing Association, me and Vianna WP: With Vianna the creator of Theta healing, very nice. MR: Yes, she is my partner We cofounded and did it together. WP: Congratulations to the two of you! MR: Yes, because we have over 300, 000 healers worldwide. It is really cool. I am a visionary I love to watch businesses it is just my thing. You know we talked about having a baby, it was like let me just launch another business. WP: That is the baby. MR: So my accountant goes , “ You set up corporations and businesses like you are buying shoes. I go, “I know I know. “ So we created the International Theta Healing Association, so we can give back to the community and back to the world via a nonprofit. And that is still in the works. So, yeah. WP: Beautiful! I am glad to hear it, that’s good. I am glad to hear it in terms of allowing Continued on page 36

I Learned Life’s Lessons Sitting On an Active Volcano by Master Sio

community where everyone loves everyone and shares everything? Long ago I chanced upon such a community perched serenely atop an active volcano in the middle of the Pacific, shrouded from the madding crowd, a tiny island cradling arguably the world’s happiest people. I was struck by their sense of community. Lesson 1: Got Milk? A boy of about six wandered by and pointed to the chest of a young mother breastfeeding her baby. She handed her child to another woman, lifted up the boy and began to nurse him. “‘Oiau, ‘oku ke si’i fiekaia? (You poor little boy, are you hungry, dear?)” An elderly man said it was normal

for all lactating mothers to oblige whenever anyone’s child asked. The boy lived at the other end of the village with his parents. After the boy was satiated, the mother resumed feeding her own child. And no one stared at the woman’s breasts. Can you imagine this in New York City or London? One of today’s foremost theoretical physicists, Professor Michio Kaku, says we’re all born geniuses until we’re led astray by our parents, friends, schools, society, environment and so on. Likewise, we’re all born filled with Divine Love that naturally impels us to share ourselves unconditionally and with joy. The good news is that we can return to Divine Love, as the storied islanders have.

Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa and Martin Luther King all bent the arc of egotism and greed back to loving service to others. Like visitors before me, I was startled by the islanders’ generosity and joyful disposition. Walking through the main settlement of perhaps two hundred people, I witnessed so many spontaneous acts of kindness that it was a bit disquieting, almost like getting a Christmas gift you felt unworthy of. By western standards, the people lived below poverty level. Yet I’d never seen a community as happy, contented and in robust good health. Laughter and smiles wherever one turned.

Lesson 2: Teach a man to fish

Lesson 3: The Old Man and the Sea

Since the entire island was ringed by steep cliffs, launching a canoe to go fishing demanded skill, daring and faith. Several men and I swung the canoe back and forth then let it splash crazily onto the seething sea infested, I was told, by sharks. We then leapt into the churning waters and chased after the canoe.

Walking along the shoreline shortly before sunset, I met an old man cooking a small fish in an open fire. His fishing line was dangling over the cliff. He greeted me warmly, we chatted a while and then he handed me the fish: “Here, enjoy it.”

Those who could fish, fished. Those who chose to plant crops, did. Others chose to weave blankets. The island had its own herbalists, massage therapists, astrologers, and men who correctly forecast the weather by watching animal behavior and feeling the texture of the air, clouds, sun, moon and stars. Every person gave according to their ability or lack thereof. There was no weighing, counting or other accountability as we understand it in the west. The islanders knew they could all live happily together, or perish miserably as loners. A bitter herbal potion I took for a cold did the job nicely. Personally, I’ve accepted that the bitter taste of my broken relationships actually did me a world of good!

“

Every person gave according to their ability or lack thereof. There was no weighing, counting or other accountability as we understand it in the west.

“

Hours later we returned with a canoe load of fish, cheered on by the whole village at cliffside. Burlap bags bulging with fish were pulled up with ropes. Most fishermen clambered up the rocks to land. I chose to be hauled up in a basket. Everyone just helped themselves to whatever fish they fancied, without money changing hands. Likewise, everyone took whatever bananas, taro, breadfruit or other harvest they needed from the sparse arable land.

I said I couldn’t accept it since there was only one, and what would he eat, and could I at least give him some money. He smiled a pixie smile which smoothed his weathered face: “I can always catch another fish, but I may never see you again.” Lesson4: Karma Strikes Passing ships delivered the mail in sealed cans which they dropped into the ocean about a mile away since there was no safe harbor. Islanders swam out to retrieve the cans. Each swim could take up to six hours, depending on how treacherously the eddies swirled around the island. For decades there was no mishap until the day a shark attacked one of the swimmers. As he lay bleeding on shore, he confessed how in a temper he had emptied the island’s only water tank by leaving the tap open. It seems Karma does not always wait until a future incarnation Charged with a sense of spiritual renewal, I left the island knowing that Love is what a true community is all about. These lessons, or cousins thereof, have served me well enough, in my opinion. I hesitate to name the island because it now has an airport and more visitors would inevitably erode the islanders’ idyllic community lifestyle.

It’s Time

to Faith

the Truth

religious and spiritual communities we speak of Faith in God, as a belief we hold that God is real, and that underneath the turmoil of our lives, that Faith inspires us and helps us through difficulties. Faith then is a flexible tool we develop inside, something that can wax or wane, and be raised or diminished. But Faith is actually more like an exercise and the way to build the Faith muscle is to work it out with several reps, every day of our lives. God does not need our Faith because God does not need anything. We need our Faith because without it, life can become unbearable, meaning Faith can become a kind of crutch, holding us together and giving us solace during difficult times. But real Faith comes when we develop our Faith that God is a part of everything and everyone. Faith means looking at another human being, every human being, and having Faith that they contain the same spark of God that we do and therefore must be considered holy. That doesn’t mean we have to like them, and some people are dangerous, but it does mean that we have to relate to them as fellow children of God.

By David Spetner

That’s the hard part of Faith, but if we’re going to grow spiritually, our Faith is going to be tested. Faith is a constant means of sharing and demonstrating love – it’s a belief and it’s the action a believer takes. Faith needs nourishment, requiring us to improve it and not just accept it. We are constantly “Faithing,” meaning coming upon situations and people where our Faith must be worked. Faith may be a noun but it should also be a verb. In our regular lives, we too often consider another person only as a personality -- how they act and what they do -- not as who they truly are. When we judge another person, we are looking at the illusion of their ego, not their reality. In many situations where we judge another, we can instead be accepting and forgiving. It doesn’t mean we condone certain behaviors, or invite a thief into our home, it means we recognize – or have Faith that – every person we come across has the same Godly spirit we do. We all have some Faith and we all have the ability to direct it

where it matters most. Will we have Faith in the illusions before us, or Faith in the Godly? Having Faith gives birth to forgiveness. As we hold a grievance towards another person, it’s hard to have Faith in them as well. Therefore we must forgive them, which is forgiving ourselves, and that makes our Faith grow and glow so that we see more clearly how our thoughts and actions uplift our spiritual selves rather than strengthening our illusions about the world. (Keep in mind, we can forgive a destructive person and at the same time protect others and ourselves from their actions.) We can see one world without Faith and forgiveness or a very different one without it. In the movie, “Manhattan,” Woody Allen and his friend get into an argument over a complicated situation about their intertwining love relationships. In defending himself against Woody’s criticism, Woody’s friend declares, “You think you’re God.” To which Woody replies, “Well I have to model myself on someone.” It’s true, we do have to model

ourselves after someone, and so it might as well be God – not in terms of judgment, but in the process of having Faith and forgiving. That may not be what Woody meant exactly, but who wouldn’t want to model themselves after someone loving, accepting and forgiving? We read, study, struggle and “seminarize” our spiritual paths but if we want to find enlightenment quickly, it will be in the most pedestrian places, by changing our perspective about the simplest things. If we’re at a spiritual lecture, we’re far more likely to find enlightenment by focusing on the fidgeting person in front of us (placed there by God for all we know), or through the know-it-all asking the first question and taking up all the time. What we’re looking for is the person we most need to have Faith in, the one that tries our patience or the one that disturbs us the most. Do we have Faith that the annoying person is an innocent child of God, with strengths and flaws, seeking love in the world exactly as we are? Or do we judge them as ignorant, selfcentered and disrespectful? Let’s keep our minds open because that pest in the front row can teach us more about love and enlightenment than the most venerated teacher. In fact, it’s better, easier and cheaper to exercise our Faith muscle in the places and people we

find ourselves around the most. You have probably heard that we are all healers, which is true. Through love, kindness and gratitude, our energy brings healing to another person. When we have constant Faith in others, we heal them by recognizing and having Faith in their true selves. And as we do that, we heal ourselves in the very same way. It’s a circle, just like teaching and learning. When we only see another person as a body, we cannot see their Holiness, nor our own. But when we have Faith in others and activate it instead of anger or judgment, we gain Faith in ourselves and our lives are enriched. Having Faith is not always easy, especially when we’ve been taught to judge others as good or bad. But when faced with a difficult situation that we can’t seem to resolve, we can then call on our Faith in God and ask for guidance -- and have Faith that Faith is on the way.

Tips To n

Loving or Leaving Your Life’s

Greatest Teachers A few years ago I entered into a business partnership that had infinite potential for growth. My relationship with one of the partners was…challenging. At the time, I felt that this challenging partnership was one of my “greatest teachers”. I truly believed that if I continued loving this person and staying open that everything would work out. With every stumble in the friendship I would ask myself: What’s my part in this? What is this teaching me? How can I love more? After countless conversations, time and energy trying to work things out, I began to notice that my friend wasn’t asking the same questions. As a matter of fact, she wasn’t asking any questions about her behavior. Trapped in a sea of blame, projection and confusion, I began to realize that the relationship was neither healthy nor balanced. I was stuck in the belief that this was one of those “greatest teacher” moments. The reality was that I wasn’t really growing in the partnership. The chal-

By Patty Alfonso

Love those who challenge you the most, they are your greatest teachers

lenges that arose always seemed to be my fault. This was creating added stress, anger, confusion and resentment within me.

Eventually I did grow...I grew the moment I realized that I had to love myself enough to let go of the relationship. I learned to differentiate between a healthy, challenging relationship, which inspires me to grow, and a destructive one, which creates chaos. In this situation my greatest teacher was my intuition. My sense of what was really happening despite what was being said. The energy beyond the projected reality. I learned about the places in my life where I give too much in the interest of being nice; I learned about forgiveness; I learned about group energy and the dynamics of unexpressed emotions; I saw firsthand what a spiritual bypass really looks like and, most importantly, I learned that I could trust my intuition. I am aware of people’s confusion around my decision to keep this person out of my life. In that awareness I choose to stand by mySelf and my Inner Knowing. I choose to love and

let go for the sake of all involved. I choose to set a clear boundary regarding how I will be treated and the kinds of friends I am willing to have in my life. I leave you with this gift: Your Inner Knowing is your greatest teacher. Here are some tips on how to connect to that Knowing and choose based on the energy within you:

1. Get to know your Self: Knowing your Self

will guide you in being able to differentiate when someone is really trying to help you and when they are projecting their own stuff onto you. This means know ALL of you. The loving caring you and the ugly mean you; the light and the dark because we all have both. Once you know all of those parts of you….LOVE THEM ALL. This is the best way to transcend them and integrate them into your Being. 2. If it feels heavy to you, then it’s not true for you. Tune in to the energy of what is happening. Does the energy feel light or heavy? If the energy feels heavy, then what is being said is not true for you, and you don’t have to buy it. Return it to Sender with Consciousness. Don’t even bother trying to figure it out it cuz it’s not yours to figure out! And remember that what is true for you may not be true for someone else. Everyone has the right to his or her own experience. You still don’t have to believe it or take it on.

3. Are you projecting? A projection occurs when someone is threatened by

or afraid of their own impulses so they attribute those impulses onto another person. These impulses can be defined as emotions such as aggression, anger or fear. When we point a finger at someone else, we are really pointing three fingers at ourselves. Be aware of what you accuse others of being and notice if that accusation is actually something you are denying in yourself. And when accusations come your way: Refer to item 1 and 2. 4. Owning your part: Relationships are meant to help us grow into the next version of who we are meant to be. In relationships, if you are BOTH willing to see and own your part, then there is balance and the relationship will be helpful. If only ONE of you is willing to do this inner work, then there is imbalance and the relationship will eventually hold you back. Do you really want to choose to be the only one in the relationship that is willing to do the inner work? Yes, when you change, others will change around you but when no one else is contributing it gets old and creates resentment. Choose you and refer to item 1, 2 and 3. In the end, this was a “greatest teacher” moment. For me, it included letting go of the teacher so I could receive the entire lesson. It is all love and sometimes you have to love from far away. If there is someone in your life you need to let go of and you desire support, I would love to guide you through that experience. For more information go to: www.LiveYourDreamLifeNow.com.

that creative energy to really blossom and come out. And even more in a sense we all have creative ideas, but you’re somebody who takes them and brings them into the planet. MR: Yeah, I put it into the life. WP: So that takes enormous courage and strength. That is beautiful MR: I am studying kundalni Tantra Yoga and so I will I have done my first 100 hours in teaching training in that. And then I am going to do my next 100 hours of teaching training in that. And then I am going to get certified in that. And then I am going to morph it because in a sense I think there is a real need to explore sexuality and sensuality. And I was reading your article on sexuality a couple of months ago. WP: I thought it was a clever, cute line, Spiritual Pornography. MR: It was great. It was great. Thank you, I think it is really important. Last night I was studying my kundalini Tantra book because I could not sleep. I had too much chocolate cake –(both laugh). I am a raw vegan and all of a sudden I am like chocolate cake oh let me have that. So I see that like I am moving in a lot of directions and have created my own healing modality as well. So I can really go into I love Theta Healing I adore it and I teach it so pristinely. Yet my heart wants to do

other stuff that is so much deeper. I want really want to do stuff and I have already created the classes on the child in the womb. I have already created those classes. So I am going where my passion is. Everything is where my passion is. I want to do more retreats and transformational work and then mix it in with quantum DNA acceleration. You know. WP: Fantastic! MR: Yes I just see a lot of these yogis. Is this bad to say? Well I don’t see the growth. I see them staying stuck. They’re feeling great but they are stuck. WP: An interesting perspective. I think it happen when we hold on too tight, so that it becomes part of our essence. We close the path to growth, to our expansiveness. MR: My energy field and the way I do business is that I attract the people that want to growth. And then I have another service to offer. WP: Exactly! Here is the closing question, since the magazine is called Whole Person. Is Marina Rose a whole person? MR: Absolutely, and it scares people that I am a whole person.

WP: Well, it can be intimidating. MR: Absolutely Yes, It is like I take my healing so seriously, healing on myself. I amnot only a healer and a teacher and a visionary and an entrepreneur. I get healings sometimes three and four times a week. WP: Yes I think it is so important to selfcare, self-examine, self-loving. MR:Self loving and being a whole person and you know what not denying any part of me. There is no stone unturned. And that is my teaching style. Right. I think I am a very whole person. Extremely. WP: I think you are extremely dedicated, talented visionary healer. I think the task is to discover the stones that lay outside of our periphery. MR: Yes the stones, right now any thing that is there I am unlocking it and then there is a layer and then there is another layer. So i am dedicated to being fully committed to who am I and who the creator wants me to be. WP: And a beautiful gift you are and in closing I want to say what an honor to have you here. I’ve appreciated your openness and candor. MR: Oh I feel honored to be here for this interview.

2014 Astrological Psychology Aries - 3/21 – 4/19

It is time to live in your ability to enjoy your friendliness in a much greater way. This energy is golden and in that state, it is true guidance that comes to you; get it while the getting is good. Please stay tuned in deeply and be on the lookout for a subtle desire to ‘wait’ to ‘postpone’ taking actions. When you notice this subtlety also tune into the deep part of your very self that could be called the ‘Lovers’. Be fearless in the face of that love because it is way more than romantic love and is most likely separate from what you are inclined to ‘wait’ on! In silence you will know what and who to do what with. Go for it, that is go into ‘Silence’ and Know! The field of all possibilities is directly connected to you being friendly. This is because of the depth and warmth of your heart that fuels those possibilities to come into manifestation. Know that and participate with more willing awareness. The Future brings even more in terms of possibilities and in the silence in the void unbelievable possibilities become known.

Taurus - 4/20 – 5/20

In deep meditation the essence of fire is there. Let the fire be and all that falls off, all that falls apart, all aspects that die are merely a cleansing. Eventually it will happen anyways. Become able to welcome what is and the transformation happens with less pain and the possibility of actual joy. You are set to have an adventure with the fire, this is due to the good work you have done and your ability to show up with curiosity and in a childlike manner; keep it up. The degree and extent of the change afoot is way beyond your imagination. It is good that you keep it simple. While you have a left over bent to be in control, it is your understanding of control that allows you to open the door to the ‘beyond’. As you lift off, now, a completion Is there. In the future you will near the end of the

February need to compare your insides to someone else’s outsides. You will find a great celebration happening all around you from others that know, trust and love you. Your success will pivot upon you accepting your internal state for what it is, in its perfection. This sparks a deeper and sweeter maturity for you along your path.

Gemini - 5/21 – 6/20

It is time to examine the armor you are carrying and the ghosts from the past that cause you to have a need to armor yourself; what is the need for protection, life, the unknown, someone specific! Or, are you holding on to what you have for fear of losing it! All in all there is a big healing available to you right now! Whether you think you need a healing or not, welcoming a healing is just smart! It is your mind that is on fire and that fire is the need to be in control; is wearing you out? While this is going on the healing that is ready to come is in the form of a flowering of new skills and abilities, wow! Pretty cool! It is the rebel within that can get you past the need to be in control and settle your mind down so you can receive the abundance that is beyond your imagination. The experiencing of life is geared for you to only see/experience what you have patterns available to compare to and or to recognize! There are way more Experiences yet to be seen, especially as you settle your mind and release the need for control. Transformation is afoot supporting your surrendering. You will have to do double time to actualize all the blessings available to you so you receive as many of them as possible without suppressing what, right now, you don’t understand. Stay open and you will see in your beingness many wonders.

Cancer - 6/21 – 7/22

You are in the air now, above the ordinary hustle and bustle of life. Trust that what is going on is perfect, and see deep-

er into the various aspects of life. Knowing that being above is in fact just a new ordinariness that is part of how and why you are flying high. Lurking behind the scenes are deeper levels of comparative analysis and bigger challenges and opportunities for blessings as you begin to compromise as a concept in abundance. How, Why, What…. Look into all that in silence, for it is within the circumstances of your life! It is your patience that has supported you in rising above the ordinary into the ‘Knew’ normal of ordinariness. Patience is to be practiced continually and in refined ways. Go for it! In the Future, ‘Going with the Flow’ will be easier and more natural. Swimming alone or with others is all the same!!

Leo - 7/23 – 8/22

Right now your inner Guidance is coming through like never before; are you ready to receive! It is your conditioning that has benefited you and yet covered up some opportunities at the same time. So, be in gratitude for the benefits, and set in place clear intentions to let go of ‘ALL’ that is holding you back. You arrived with deep genetic coding to include the physical, emotional and spiritual; believe it! Rising above that genetic coding or rather rising up into that coding is key! Welcome what you sense coming from your deep inner heart! Be patient as if you are pregnant! You may want it now, yet you will wait many months for the baby to be ready to come out! Patience, patience, patience! In patience you will accrue blessings when you are not looking and then be amazed when you notice; Let go and let it be! The art of compromise is way undervalued. You get some of what you want now and give up some of what you want for Now! Either way, you win something new! Get going in accepting a compromise as a win, and the source within will shine into the

space that opens as you compromise.

Virgo – 8/23 – 9/22

The rebel in you breaks through the chains that bind your creativity and trail blazing in Life. While others may criticize your ways, you hold the light that illumines your way, even if it includes going from teacher to teacher or from job to job! While you feel some guilt when you depart from the tribal norms, you know from your past lives that those norms must be changed as humanity evolves. You also know that your participation must be fully engaged; yet you are barely engaged in a participatory manner that is available to you. While you tend to project onto others and onto circumstances what belongs to you, you may now be ready to know that all projections are you rejecting yourself! It is your maturity that supports the rebel in you. Please trust that a mature rebel is wisdom in action; believe that! In the future, the only thing for you is success and more success as you give up the guilt and participate bravely, as you must!

Libra - 9/23 – 10/22

Conditioning, conditioning, conditioning holds all of the keys to how you are the way you are! Dig into that conditioning and find a doorway to uncharted territory, if you dare! It is your participation in life that has positioned you for exploration and finding harmony! However, you have a deep need to be in control. You know this in how you have a need to hang on; hanging on to money, position, friends, knowledge, etc. At the same time there is an even quieter place within that yearns for adventure; in silence you will know it! It is your ability to integrate your conditioning that has prepared you to move beyond that conditioning. As you take that leap out of what is known and comfortable, you discover ordinariness of a higher order; you are lucky!

Scorpio - 10/23 – 11/21

Being beyond illusion is in the present and is presently available to you! The outer coverings are thin and see-through, please notice. Letting go of what you know is how you are able to experience what is beyond illusion! And, in the depth of what is, that depth can appear

to be emptiness beyond emptiness! Take courage as your companion and nest in that emptiness, to discover the subtle intensity of the fire within. Fueled by that fire, your traveling shoes are on the move, with you in them! The very essence of the purpose of your life is all around you. Sitting naked on top of a lotus, there is just you and all else! Merge into the oneness within and the future will produce an unfolding, a flowering, more than you have seen, that is bountiful, mystical and sensual!

need to compare yourself to someone else in any regard will dissolve into the Rainbow Light of Your Success!

Aquarius - 1/20 – 2/18

Experiencing the world and life in it, is an evolving situation. We are wired to recognize what we know only! You are ready to complete a phase by which you receive an upgrade in recognition! It is a Breakthrough that will open you up to what is next! That breakthrough comes from beyond what you know, and yet as you experience the completion, you will know it when you experience it! You are ready for all of this because of your commitment to what is true, the reality that is beyond illusion. Seeking the truth, in this life and past lives, has prepared you! In the Future, your Receptivity escalates, and it escalates only as fast as you are ready to receive, integrate, and process! You might be stretched a little, though!

In the middle of the night a Breakthrough happens. This suggests that you are ripe, so ripe that all you have to do is relax to achieve! You are essentially a Friendly soul, and stepping into a happy, friendly space will serve you well right now! There is so much more going on, and it is time for you to stop suppressing! Get curious about what is buried that you have ignored or pushed back into a hole for a future meal! It is the Creator within that energizes your success. Truly, it is a blessing from hard work that is supporting a Breakthrough! Now comes the work! Moving past the need to be ready to Fight is the Change that will be coming your way. In the Past, you have been afraid to sit in the depth of being alone because being alone and being lonely is muddled. Sit in it with an open heart and notice! You will emerge with a blessing to Share with others; it is insight and understanding! Besides all that, more needed work revolves around the Burden you carry! Knowing the Burden is there, is the first step in letting it Go! Your inner Guidance is there and ready to support your Letting Go!

Capricorn - 12/22 – 1/19

Pisces - 2/19 – 3/20

Sagittarius - 11/22 – 12/21

Without regard, without thought, without consideration, Love Is a Powerful Guiding Force within you, especially right now! So, how to utilize this Power, that comes without thought? It is found in Deep Meditation and Prayer! Go for it! It is your Experiencing of the World that will continue to evolve, while in ordinary circumstances, much will remain the Same! Your Experience will be lifted to new heights! You will have to Share what you have in order to keep receiving, and for the exceptional unfolding to continue! You may think you are already doing just that! Well, if you do good, and put it into high gear, you will blow the doors off the experiences from behind the veil! Your Maturity is what will hold you stable as the extraordinary becomes Ordinary, more than you can imagine! All feelings of being outside the ‘norm’ will become clear. In fact, your

An explosion of white light is coming your way, breaking through what is currently known. It is the Abundance of your knowing that makes the leap into the unknown. And as your process expands, please know that there will be a new normal; an ordinariness of a higher order. It is important to rest in Being Ordinary. Guilt will stop holding you back as your conscious decision to participate gains strength and momentum. You MUST slow down and proceed from behind cover into the Light! You will become more visible, get ready. Your Success will surround you, and those that know you will also be surrounded with Success. Allow yourself to Ride High and remember, it is a new ‘Ordinary’, a new ‘Normal’.
